James Patrick Tadros was arrested the day of the attack and charged with attempted murder, false imprisonment and criminal mischief. The TV station first received an arrest report with paragraphs blacked out and then, through its attorney’s use of the Duval County Clerk of Court database, received an unredacted report, allowing them to see what had been blacked out, according to a court document.

Soud then issued a temporary injunction, known as prior restraint, against the TV station, saying they could not broadcast the two paragraphs from a police interview with Tadros about the attack, in which, according to Tadros’ defense attorney, he confessed.

The next day, the TV station broadcast the report — accidentally — according to newsroom representatives.

The temporary injunction was issued after a WJXT TV-4 assignment manager called the State Attorney’s Office to announce a story with the report would lead the evening newscast. About 30 minutes after the call, an emergency hearing was held in Soud’s courtroom. State Attorney Angela Corey and Assistant Public Defender Fred Gazaleh asked Soud to prohibit WJXT TV-4 from publishing the police report.

Soud still hasn’t ruled on whether he will eventually allow the publication of the report. He will hold a hearing Thursday.

Gazaleh argued in a court document that because the interview contained a confession, the report should not be published again.

Attorneys with the Reporters Committee for the Freedom of the Press and The Florida Times-Union said Friday that the judge has to prove information will seriously impede the right to a fair a trial in order to stop someone from publishing.

“It’s hard to imagine a circumstance in which the judge could have told a TV station that it could not print this document,” said Gregg Leslie, a staff attorney with the Reporters Committee for the Freedom of the Press. “There’s almost never going to be a valid justification for prior restraint.”

Just curious here....have any of the Best Buy employees who actually busted in to the rest room and rescued the girl, come forward and told their story? When it happened, there were conflicting reports of exactly how the girl was rescued. Being the Curious George that I am, I'd like to get the straight poop.

Maybe the arrest report has the details....is that posted up somewhere?

State Attorney Angela Corey and Assistant Public Defender Fred Gazaleh both asked Judge Soud to prohibit WJXT TV-4 from publishing the police report. I'm not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, but this tells me something. If the prosecution and the defense agree on this issue, there must be a good reason.

Judge Soud was simply trying to protect the integrity of the case. Isn't that what he's supposed to do?
